Beyond Weight Loss Surgery
What is body contouring?

Body contouring surgery is like hitting the reset button on your body, revealing the toned physique you've been working towards.
Why Body Contouring? It's More Than Just Losing Weight!
What are the benefits of body contouring after weight loss?
Sure, with surgical body contouring Chicago patients can achieve that beach-ready confidence, but the benefits go deeper than aesthetics. Here's why you might be saying, "Sign me up!":
- Bye-Bye Bulges: Eliminate those pockets of fat that cling to your belly, thighs, or arms, no matter how many squats you do.
- Hello, Smooth Skin! Tighten loose skin for a sleeker, more contoured silhouette.
- Increased Comfort: Sagging, excess skin can cause irritation and discomfort during exercise or everyday activities. Body contouring surgery can alleviate these issues.
- Confidence Boost: Feeling good in your own skin translates to a more positive outlook on life.
Lipedema and Surgical Body Contouring
For some individuals, particularly women, weight loss can be especially challenging due to a condition called lipedema. This is a chronic disorder that causes abnormal fat accumulation, often in the legs and buttocks. Dr. Kapadia understands the unique challenges Lipedema presents and can tailor body contouring procedures to address this condition effectively.

The Big Day and Beyond
The procedures are typically performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on their complexity. While some downtime is expected, Dr. Kapadia will provide detailed post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.
- Seeing Your Results and Maintaining Your New Look: The full body contouring results can take up to six months to fully emerge, but trust us, the wait is worth it! Here are some key things to remember to maintain your sculpted physique:
- Healthy Habits Rule! Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine will help you keep your new figure in top shape.
- Compression is Your Friend. Wearing a compression garment as directed by Dr. Kapadia will aid healing and reduce swelling.
- Sunscreen for Better Scar Healing. Always apply sunscreen to incision sites to minimize scarring.
- Listen to Your Body: Avoid strenuous activity for the recommended time frame to allow your body to heal properly.
